need help with geometry paragraph! please! The figure below shows a transversal t which intersects the parallel lines PQ and RS.

Write a paragraph to prove that the measure of angle 4 is equal to the measure of angle 8.

wouldnt i have to use actual word to describe?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

@ganeshie8 u know how to do this?

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

If two parallel lines are cut by a transversal the corresponding angles are congruent according to corresponding angles axiom. Here PQ and RS are are parallel line segments and are cut by the transversal t. Here angle 4 and angle are corresponding angles. As per corresponding angles axiom, angle 4 is congruent to angle 8. thats a paragraph !!

lol are u sure its right?

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

To answer questions involving "paragraph proofs" you need to describe why it is true.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yeah lol it looks right to me thanks ganeshie8 : D

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

you can write a similar proof in ur own words... just make sure you anchor your reasoning to an axiom or a theorem. here we anchoring to "corresponding angles axiom"
